You gotta love 70s stripes.  The only thing better would be a full-on mural, but this is close.
As much as we love this one, we must admit it could be a bit ‘overwindowed’ vs. the creepiest vans out there.
This is the view every father wants when his daughter’s first date is pulling into the drive.

Suitably creepy interior.  Will anyone dare take a UV light in there?

I am selling my 78 Dodge 100 shortly van. Sold as is. Has original desert mural on side that is faded a bit. Gives it a nice vintage look. Remainder of paint is ok but oxodized. Has usual rust in usual spots for Dodge vans, such as the a pillar. Has front spoiler and wheel flares along with windshield visor. Windshield has a crack down center. Inside, the original orange carpet remains, along with a cooler box. New Kenwood radio/aux/cd unit just installed. There are map lights in the front and rear interior. Right rear side window has had some silicon put around edges for leak sealing. All and all, the interior is decent and ready for customization. The original 318 with factory 4 barrel carb runs ok. Carb could use choke adjusted a bit.Right side motor mount is weak and should be replaced. It does have some minor oil drips when it sits but nothing major. When purchased about 1.5 years ago, it passed smog ok. Might need a little adjusting prior. Smog pump needs to be swapped out, which is only about $60. 124k miles. Has new distributor, spark plugs, wires, power steering pump, alternator, and radiator. New shocks all around. 727 trans shifts ok. Single 2.25″ exhaust out left side with Flowmaster 40 muffler. All new tires front and back. Right front brake rotor needs replacing as it is warped/shot. All in all, its a good running van that serves well as a great camping and beach vehicle, or is a great platform for a custom van project, with lots of new or recent parts. Tags due in September, but are current at the moment, and clean title in my name. Selling to move onto another van project.
